One to One Home Based Respite

Rutherglen Community Carers was established in 1994 to address the need for person-centred social support for people with dementia and other mental health/disabling conditions who are being supported in the community. Support at home (home based respite) is provided by carers and, in the wider community, through specific community groups run by the organisation, namely the Early Diagnosed Dementia Group and the Craft Club. The aim of the organisation is to support people to live well with their underlying health conditions and to provide respite and stress relief to service recipients and their families. The service is intended to complement existing services, not replace them.
